You will be able to explore the majority
of the Services offered on this web site without us collecting any identifiable
information from you. E-mail
addresses (also known as "unique identifiers") are collected from
visitors to verify the user's identity, to facilitate business communications
and for use as account numbers in our system. This information is not shared
with third parties. In addition, HCN will not sell your personal information to
third parties unless you give us your specific permission to do so.
The registration
form on our site requires you, the user, to provide us with your contact
information (such as name, e-mail address, and postal address) and demographic
information (such as postal code and age).
Information from
the registration form may be used to send promotional material from our site to
our users. Your contact information is also used to ensure that we can keep in
touch with you when necessary, especially if you have placed an order.
You may opt out
of receiving future mailings.
We may store some
information (commonly known as a "cookie") on your computer when you
visit our web site. This enables HCN to keep your shopping session and shopping
cart contents, and to recognise you during
subsequent visits. The type of information gathered is non-personal (such as:
the IP address of your computer, the date and time of your visit, which pages
you browsed and whether the pages have been delivered successfully).
Apart from
merely establishing basic connectivity and communications, HCN may also use
this data in aggregate form to develop customised services - tailored to your
individual interests and needs. Should you choose to do so, it is possible
(depending on the browser you are using), to be prompted before accepting any
cookies, or to prevent your browser from accepting any cookies at all. This
will however cause certain features of the web site not to be accessible.
The links to other
sites are posted for your convenience. HCN is not responsible for the content
or privacy practices of other websites.
These Terms and Conditions
are severable, in that if any provision is determined to be illegal or
unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, then such provision shall
be deemed to have been deleted without affecting the remaining provisions of
the Terms and Conditions.
No
waiver by HCN of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver
of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.
These
terms and conditions of use, as varied by HCN from time to time, constitute the
entire agreement between the parties with respect to the use of this website.
This site is created, controlled and owned by HCN in
the Republic of South Africa. As such, the laws of the Republic of South Africa will govern these Terms and Conditions.
